MANILA – World-renowned singer and pop culture icon Madonna will be holding her first concert in the Philippines as she includes the country in her “Rebel Heart” world tour.

Promoter Music Management International (MMI) has already announced that Madonna will begin touring on September 9 this year and will have her stop in Manila on February 24 next year at the Mall of Asia Arena.

“Madonna continues to be one of the most successful touring artists in history. Her shows are always legendary and we are thrilled to have her back on tour,” Live Nation-Global Touring president Arthur Fogel said.

Publicity materials and concert advertisements will be released on July 20. Tickets will then be available at SM Ticket outlets and online starting on July 26.

Members of Madonna’s fans club, Icon, cardholders of Citibank, and subscribers of Globe, however, will be able to secure tickets early as the aforementioned fans club and sponsors will be conducting presale events on July 21 to 24.

With the arena expected to be jam-packed with the Queen of Pop’s multitude of Filipino fans, speculations of a two-day concert came out but the concert organizers have not made any confirmations yet.

Prior the Philippines, Madonna has already held concerts in other Asian countries Japan, Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
